Damn, Sonny, you may be from the heart of Dixie, but your heart is in the

P.S. Wanna buy an M6? (It's a JOKE!) But I must say that Erwin's advertising
aside, at some point the temptation of the flash at any shutter speed - so
real daylight fill - may prove too hard to resist.

Johan,
I guess this is not the forum for you, then.  That was mild! . ... and
it did not appear to be an attack, more an opinion.
